Taipingchun

Yizhimei, hanging far behind Xu Jin, was dressed like an ordinary student on a trip, and followed slowly, but if you think it seems to be walking slowly, but when you turn your gaze back, this person will disappear , I had to rub my eyes and secretly hallucinated, which was very weird.

Right after getting off the ferry, it was already north of the Yangtze River, and the afterglow of the setting sun was slowly setting. She was about to enter Jiangpu County, but Yizhimei felt very uneasy because Xu Jin chose the land route. It is easy to go north and go back. The land route is much longer, and the variables that may exist in it are greater.

He can't allow him to have other thoughts. The so-called eyes see six ways and ears listen to all directions. Yizhimei never dares to relax his attention from Xu Jin. First, Xu Xiu's request is still in his ears, and second, he is such a good official for the people. Right in front of his eyes, he has to take care of this long journey, in terms of emotion and reason, public and private.

The closer it is to the county seat, the more people will appear around it. Yizhimei naturally sized up everyone who passed by Xu Jin's bullock cart. From this look, she could see the tricks, a few footwork As soon as he changed, he, who should have been still far away, naturally came to Xu Jin's vicinity. Without arousing the doubts of others, he turned around lightly, and bumped into an oil seller who was following behind.

"boom."

When the two shoulders touched, seeing that his center of gravity was unstable, Yizhimei rushed forward and grabbed his shoulder pole to straighten him upright, put one hand on his wrist and said repeatedly: "I'm sorry I bumped into you, I'm very rude, Xiao Ke apologizes to you."

To take a step back is to bow your hands.

"Ah."

The man simply nodded, tilted his shoulder pole, smiled and walked away. Yizhimei's face remained motionless, but there was a sneer in his heart. Just after crossing the Yangtze River, someone came to the door, but he didn't know who it was.

As soon as he turned his fingers, the stolen knife was put away in his cuff, and he thought to himself: Let's take a look.

……

Spring is always beautiful, and everything is full of vitality. However, Xu Xiu is too busy to appreciate the beauty of spring, because the spring plowing time is related to the livelihood of the whole county throughout the year. Fall on this.

Xu Xiu's lower body was basically covered in mud, but he didn't try to avoid it. He just walked on the street and greeted the villagers skillfully. Put that thumb up and shake it up.

Not far away, I heard two people in front of me arguing with each other, the quarrel was very cruel, Xu Xiu was amused to listen to the folk swear words, hundreds of years passed, they were still so affectionate, surrounded by many people People from other places watched the filthy magistrate walk in, and did not avoid it, because after so long, everyone knew that Master Xu was not such a fastidious person.

Stretching her neck to watch the excitement, Xu Xiu, who was chattering around, didn't know what was going on, so she picked up the gong next to her and knocked on it.

"Boom."

The onlookers around the victim were so frightened that they sat on the ground several times in a row. Xu Xiu pointed at them and laughed a few times. Seeing that no one agreed, he cleared his throat in embarrassment: "It's spring plowing time, you don't want to work here. What are you arguing about?"

Hearing him ask such a question, many people rushed to talk about it, and Xu Xiu, who heard it directly, patted his head irritably, and then slapped again.

"Boom."

Loudly said: "Be quiet! It's so noisy, let the county go somewhere to understand it."

The cloth hammer in her hand hit her shoulder, Xu Xiu stared at a goose there and said, "What's the matter with the goose?"

As soon as the county lord spoke, the man hurriedly cried: "My lord, the younger one is Wang Dagui from Donglai Street. He has some geese at home. The little ones in the family are going to study. No Shuxiu. He sells them on the street. If you don't say a word, you will go and grab it, under the blue sky and broad daylight, your lord should be the master."

Xu Xiu pursed her lips and looked him up and down. He was a neighbor who seemed to have read a little. She nodded and understood. She looked at the other person and asked, "Arguing with him, let me hear."

The man suppressed his anger and said, "The little one is Ma Jiu, a countryman who picks up geese to sell in the morning. This man saw that it was convenient for me to go, so he plucked the little goose's hair and made it messy. Other geese Push it away when you see it, you can’t get in, so you can say that the goose belongs to him, so where can the villagers go to reason, adults must make decisions for the villagers.”

"It's clear that you want to snatch my domestic goose, and you're making nonsense in reverse. Don't listen to him, my lord."

"It's you who did treacherous things, the adults are the masters."

Xu Xiu twitched the corners of her mouth, squatted on the ground, and didn't listen to their nonsense. She sized up the big white goose. It was fat and white. It should be delicious when made into a goose sauce. She subconsciously wiped the corners of her mouth. Seeing that no one saw it, I remembered that my family had raised geese before, so I naturally looked around it. Unfortunately, the two of them chattered, and the goose ran away in fright.

Standing up, I thought to myself that what I met was not a fight between the scary princes, but these trifling disputes, the polarization is too serious, and I said boringly: "I don't care who is telling the truth, let the goose tell the truth." Let me tell you whose family he belongs to, it will save you trouble and the county's energy."

"Yes." Xu Yang lowered his head and thought to himself: What kind of trickster are you going to do now?

As soon as these words were uttered, the people around immediately became excited. You said that there were not many people who saw the stone benches, and no one saw the baskets. You only know that there is such a saying. Seeing the county lord let the big white goose confess with his own eyes, the excitement is indescribable.

Xu Xiu smiled and said, "Bring a piece of white paper and spread it under the goose's feet."

The yamen servant looked and looked to the left, but he didn't know where to get the paper, Xu Xiu coughed and said, "There are shops all around, you are so stupid to ask."

It's great that lazy dragon is here, he will definitely go to get it for himself cleverly, but it's a pity that he went home to visit relatives, what a pity.

"Yes Yes."

When the goose was standing on the white paper, Xu Xiu was also leaning against the big tree by the roadside. It was inevitable that a group of people would make noise on the inner, third and outer floors. So he had no choice but to keep silent, not daring to speak, and waited to see what kind of medicine was sold in the bottom gourd.

The eerie street was quiet and quiet. After about a stick of incense, Xu Xiucai opened his eyes, gave a big smile and said, "I made everyone laugh."

"Don't dare."

Xu Xiu glanced at the piece of paper, shook his head, and said, "Wang Dagui, the villagers sell geese, why did you have the evil intention to deceive him?"

He argued: "My lord, the little one was raised by my family."

The cloth hammer hit him on the forehead, Xu Xiu nodded at him and said, "Shacai, do you have to tell me the truth?"

"I don't know the little one." Wang Dagui held his head and cried out for grievances.

"The domestic geese in your market eat brown rice and coarse grains, and the dung must be hard white. The geese in your hometown eat grass, and the dung is green." Xu Xiu twisted a corner of the white paper and held it in his hands. He said angrily in front of his eyes: "Look for yourself, it's originally green, and it's safe to fight for strength?"

Wang Dagui wiped off his cold sweat and said, "My lord, my lord, what does this mean?"

There is no need for Xu Xiu to talk about it anymore, the people around him have already made it clear for him, but everyone has some common sense. In a cold sweat, Wang Dagui confessed everything one after another, waiting for Xu Xiu to deal with it.

Xu Xiu hated iron for being weak and said: "You said how could your neighbors in Jiangning County deceive the people in your hometown? They all said that the people in the market are slippery. It's fine to talk about it one or two, but the more people like you, say The more people there are, the more innocent our neighbors will be, and the villagers will know that there are bad people in the city, so they will naturally be more wary of you. It's so corrupt, whose fault is it?"

Wang Dagui bowed his head without saying a word, Xu Xiu squatted down and patted him on the head and said, "So, I have to punish you, and I will punish you to sell geese for him, sell them everywhere, and then send them to him. outside the city."

"Submit, submit. Listen to your lord."

Xu Xiu said to Ma Jiu: "From now on, you make an appointment with him. Every time he goes to your house to pick up geese and sell them for you, you will be idle at home. This is his fault."

"Thank... my lord."

"That's all right. The so-called Harmonious Jiangning and Harmonious Daming, do you understand?"

"understand."

"You don't need to understand." Xu Xiu lifted her neck and greeted everyone with a smile: "It's over. Let's go back."

She walked straight away with her hands behind her back, and the people behind saw that there was no excitement and then dispersed one after another. I don't know if it was a coincidence or what. Xu Xiu encountered many small disputes along the way, either fighting or quarreling, some Trivial things are easy anyway, and they will be broken in a few strokes.

Straight sighed: "After all, spring is here, everyone is so energetic."

However, it’s okay to have one or two, but looking at the two people fighting each other in front of him for the third time, Xu Xiu’s whole body is in a bad mood, she shook her head and said to Xu Yang in a sullen voice: “What’s all this? If I had known earlier, I’d better sit on Xiao Mao and go back quickly.”

Xu Yang smiled and said, "Isn't Master enjoying it?"

Gently patted her cheek, Xu Xiu said in embarrassment: "Big cases despise trouble, and small disputes despise boredom. I'm really drunk."

"Come on, separate them, what a mess on the street."

Asked about it, Xu Xiu sighed and said, "What are you guys fighting about?"

One person cried and said: "The young one is Li Si outside the city. He grows vegetables for a living. I went to the vegetable garden this morning to collect Luosu. I saw this guy come to steal. Now I meet him selling Luosu from the small house. So why?" We are wrestling together, my lord, you have to make the decision for Xiaomin."

"Yes, yes, the decision is made, and the county will naturally make the decision for those who are wronged." Xu Xiu didn't ask the other person, and directly picked up the eggplant from the vegetable basket. Point to another person.

He said angrily: "It really hurt your heart. They have worked so hard to plant Luosu, so you go and steal them and sell them? Can you cut their flesh so that you can mend your sores?"

Xu Xiu clapped his hands and said, "Cuff him."

The man took a few steps back and shouted his grievances loudly: "The little one was sold by a dealer, but you consider me a thief when you are an adult. The little one will never be reconciled and will not accept it."

The yamen servant was reasonable when he heard what he said. How could he know that he stole it after looking at the vegetable basket?This was amazing, and seeing that the yamen servant was not moving, he shouted more and more, and now there were more onlookers, all pointing and pointing.

Xu Xiu sighed and said to the people around him: "It's the killer who says I'm brutal, and handcuffing doesn't count, so I'll beat him again."

Staring at him, Xu Xiu said, "Don't you want to get it?" Once again lamenting the absence of Lazy Dragon, the caring yamen servant is handy to use, and I don't know when he will be able to come back from visiting relatives.

Xu Yang kicked it, and the yamen servants stepped forward to take it. The man barked, wronged, and the dog officials cursed them all.

Xu Xiu snorted lightly, patted him on the head and said, "Stop shouting, this county is going to be Master Qingtian, you know it or not."

He said again: "I said you are a traitor, not for nothing. If people want to sell eggplants, they must choose the big ones and the mature ones. They must not have the heart to take the small ones that have just bloomed, and they will also take them together." Come sell it. You stole his eggplant this morning, lest others know that you stole it, so you panicked and even picked it from Dalian Xiaoyi."

"Snapped."

Xu Xiu slapped him coldly, dumped a basket of eggplants on the ground and said, "You bastard, which farmer would pick these ungrown eggplants to sell? I'm not afraid of killing my own family." Is it for a living?"

The man bowed his head, not daring to talk too much, the people around applauded loudly, even saying that Master Xiao Xu deserved his reputation.

The vegetable grower Li Si touched the corner of his eyes and said, "Thank you, my lord."

Xu Xiu waved his hand to suppress the commotion of the people around him and said, "Growing and selling vegetables is a trivial matter, but a farmer's livelihood is also a daily income. He shouldn't have an evil heart, only caring about self-interest and harming others, and not thinking that things have their own benefits." Its master." After kicking this stupid man, Xu Xiu said: "I have a clear law in the Ming Dynasty, stealing garden fruits and trees, wearing Jia for ten days."

It's a pity that after touching a lot of eggplants that had just bloomed, Xu Xiu said distressedly: "It's a pity for these eggplants." He licked the corner of his mouth, it seemed that the fried eggplants hadn't been late for a long time, coughed and turned around, leaving behind for Jiang Ning The people in the county are talking nonsense about the interesting topics.
